For the love of clay :-)

This bowl was my favorite and one I just finished, I made it too thin and a piece broke off, so I broke all the edges to see if I could use it anyway.I don't think it works. This is a cream and sugar set,I am not sure about them, theylook a little FredFlintstone to me,but they make me smile.

These are wonderful. I love the designs you carved into the clay. I alos love your enthusiasm for all you are doing. Esp the clay. Did you write a book? What's that about. You are a Jane of many trades :) I made a sidebar of "Studio and Workspaces" links. If you want to add yours let me know, even a kitchen workspace is of interest. And where do you do your writing?? Be well, Suki

Suki-I forgot to answer your questions-My book is about my spiritual practices, what has worked for me and what I have learned in the last 30 or so years. The title(for now)is:"Trust where you are" :-). I write in my cramped little office/storage space on my computer.

About Me

I am a painter living in the beautiful moutain town of Taos New Mexico.
Artist Statement:
I have been painting since I was eight years old when I declared to my mother that I wanted to be an artist. She promptly went out and bought me an oil set. Perhaps not the wisest choice for a child, but it got me started. I have been painting ever since and my way of working and what I paint has changed dramatically over the years. At this point in time I am working with mixed media on board and canvas. Nearly every image starts with a dream, either waking or sleeping. Other subjects that inform my work are literature and nature. Each painting is for me an adventure in color and texture,an exploration of joy and a way for me to get to know myself better. There is always a personal narrative and some hidden message that I am unaware of until it reveals itself in the finished piece. My paintings are about whatever is going on in my life at the time I am painting. My intention when I do a painting is to be true to my authentic voice and perhaps to open someone's heart and mind to all the possibilities around them.
